SOUTH AFRICA: My Son & I Hunt With White Lion Safaris

Glad your hunt turned out so well. A big congrats to your son. Well done taking him with you. Love the comments about practicing. Some just don't shoot enough and it shows. Some nice animals that you will enjoy for a long time to come. Bruce

Definitely!! It was great! Losing our bags wasn't fun but there is a lesson in everything. I learned quickly that I had way over packed!!
 
Congratulations to you and your son on some very nice animals! I especially like your black wildebeest!

Thank you! It was awesome. Didn't get a warthog, but that's okay. Gotta save something for next time!

Thanks gillettehunter. I can definitely say that the practicing helped. He shot lights out and he definitely had a blast! Making memories is what its all about.
 
Congrats on your hunt. Nice animals. Ricus & the whole White Lion Safaris crew are first class.
 
Well, capes are in the US, through the tanning process and they will be picked up by Dennis this week! Getting closer!
 
Christmas is on the way sir!

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
